Chapter 170 Creditors come to the door
Originally thought it was a little beggar, but after being caught, everyone found out that although the child looked embarrassed, there were no patches on his clothes.
Taking a closer look, the small hairpin on the head is made of wood, but it is carefully carved.
Taking a closer look, this person has soft facial features and a crisp voice, obviously a girl.
about seven or eight years old.
And now, she was choked and turned pale, looking like she was about to lose her temper.
The person who grabbed her could not help but let go.
"Oops, bad, this kid is going to be choked to death!"
"What can I do? The four dogs of my second uncle's family, the third master, choked to death like this!"
"Is there water? Is there water? Bring a bowl of water and give this child a drink."
"It's useless, you can't drink water if you are choked, you can only shake things out!"
The crowd watched, but no one stepped forward.
Zhou Chuchu felt desolate when he saw that everyone could not help but step back.
Is she going to die on the spot today?
At this moment, she felt that she couldn't breathe at all, her chest hurt and her eyes were dark.
Anything stuck in the throat can't be spit out, and can't be swallowed at all.
It's getting harder and harder to breathe.
"Sister, don't panic!" The little girl's voice rang in her ears.
Then something came to her mouth.
is water!
She didn't even think about it, she picked it up and drank it down.
Someone shook his head beside him.
This is choked, drinking water is useless.
is not an ordinary choking food, it will be short-lived if you look at it like that.
Xiao Ayu is a gourd drawn from her pocket, which is a prop prepared by Mrs. Wang for her.
is just to guard against Xiao Ayu, and will bring water to others to drink in public.
The little gourd was not that big, and Zhou Chuchu drank the water in it in just three or two mouthfuls.
It's really sweet, even sweeter than the ice cream soup at home.
Before she was choked to death, she could still drink such delicious water, and she finally had no regrets.
"Sister, are you still feeling sick? Do you still want to drink?"
Xiao Ayu was also very nervous. Seeing that the young lady didn't speak for a long time, she quickly squatted down and tilted her head downwards to see if the sister had closed her eyes.
Dango said that if a person dies, his eyes will be closed.
Not only Xiao Ayu is curious, but the people around her are also curious.
Everyone was watching, Zhou Chuchu sitting on the ground.
Suddenly, Zhou Chuchu suddenly raised his head.
shocked everyone.
"I...I'm fine." Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhou Chuchu's face blushed. She had never been paid attention to by so many people.
Liu also came up, she didn't like this little girl who robbed things.
"Since you're all right, then pay for it. You stole our stuff just now." Liu shi pulled Xiao Ayu up and told her to keep a distance from Zhou Chuchu.
This is the master who will grab things at any time, who knows if it will be a bad boy.
The sentence Zhou Chuchu shouted just now was not clear, so neither Liu Shi nor Xiao Ayu heard it.
"Yeah, kid, no matter how hungry you are, you can't grab anything."
"We can't have a robber in Nanhe Town!"
"That's it, you are a new beggar, right? You have to obey the rules, or you will be kicked out."
Everyone, your words and my words made Zhou Chuchu's face red as a pig's liver, and he wished he could dig a hole and get in.
"I didn't want to grab..." She was really hungry.
Zhou Chuchu looked at Xiao Ayu and whispered, "I'm just here to collect things, your old Wang family owes us something."
She is still smart, she didn't say she was here to collect money in front of so many people.
Liu originally wanted to say that their old Wang family owed nothing, that is, all debts were paid off.
Suddenly she thought again, a few days ago, her mother-in-law said that they had a foreign debt of 2,000 taels.
Isn't this the creditor?
With the attitude that he would rather believe what he has than if he does not, Liu brought Zhou Chuchu back to Lao Wang's house.
The people around wanted to watch the fun, but were scared away by the cold face of the person who was protecting them in private.
After arriving at the old Wang's house, Mrs. Liu told the old lady Wang about the little girl.
Mrs. Wang did not say that this person was a liar, but said to her: "You said our family owes you, where is the evidence? How did you find our family?"
When the old lady Wang was not angry, she was especially bluffing.
"I asked." Zhou Chuchu shrank her neck, it was true that this old grandmother was so powerful, she felt more fierce than her grandmother.
It turned out that Zhou Chuchu was the granddaughter of the shopkeeper of Zhouji pawnshop.
Zhouji Pawnshop is the pawnshop that lent money to Mrs. Wang.
"My grandfather didn't allow me to come, but the family shop was tricked by gangsters, and now it's in his hands. My father and others were imprisoned, and my grandfather was so angry that I couldn't get back many foreign debts. Strangers. Out of desperation, the little girl took the plunge."
For some unknown reason, Zhou Chuchu, who was still able to speak, did not dare to lie in front of Mrs. Wang, and could only tell his origins one by one.
"Grandfather said that you are a kind person. When our shop was invaded, many things were not left, but grandfather tried his best to protect the token you left, this is it."
Zhou Chuchu took out something from his arms, and upon closer inspection, it was a jade wrench.
The color of jade is clear, and it seems that there is something hidden inside.
She vaguely learned from her grandmother that there was such a family who came here with the attitude of trying it out.
She first found Hujia Village, and later, by pretending to be pitiful and begging, she roughly learned where the Lao Wang family is now.
I observed the steamed bun shop opened by Lao Wang's family, and then met the people of Lao Wang's family.
But it took more than half a month, and she didn't have the courage to come to the door to ask for the debt.
I ran out of money that wasn’t much on my body, and in the end I was really hungry, so I started robbing cakes.
Naturally, she didn't dare to rob other people. She only thought that the old Wang family owed them, and she felt a sense of anger in her heart, so she acted impulsively.
But Mrs. Wang saw the jade wrench and sighed and said, "You come to our house now, and I really can't get 2,000 taels of silver."
The light of hope in Zhou Chuchu's eyes gradually dimmed: "The doctor said that grandfather's medicine cannot be stopped now, otherwise his evil wind will become more serious."
Grandfather is the backbone of the family, if it falls down, the family will really fall apart.
Father and others will also be thrown into prison, and now no one is up and down, and I don't know when they will be able to come out.
After observing for a long time, she saw that the business of the steamed bun shop in the Lao Wang family was booming, and she thought that they should be rich.
No matter what, grandfather can always pay for some medicine, right?
The old lady Wang touched the jade finger, and her mind was full of thoughts.
Originally thought, maybe it will take many years before I go to redeem this thing.
What was left at the beginning was not only the jade wrench, but also some things, but they were all given to the shopkeeper as a gift.
At that time, there were wars, jewelry in prosperous times, and gold in troubled times.
Those things are not worth too much during the war, but they are worth after the war.
That old Zhou shopkeeper will never lose money no matter what.
But it's not pretty to care about these.
She looked at Zhou Chuchu who was dressed as a beggar in front of her, and suddenly thought of an old beggar who was sent out.
"The money you owe your family is not too much right now, but there is something I might be able to help." Mrs. Wang said.
Zhou Chuchu felt even more disappointed when she heard the first half of the sentence. She had no hope at all, but it was a fluke of existence.
A person who is praised by his grandfather for his high character will never be able to default on his debt, right?
In order to show sincerity, she gave the jade finger directly to the other party.
When was the most bitter and hungry, she protected her jade fingers well.
"The money is not enough, but your grandfather's illness, maybe I can find someone to help you cure it." Mrs. Wang said.
What? !
Zhou Chuchu stood up immediately, because the movement was too big, and the chair behind him was pushed down.
Can save grandfather's illness? !
"Can you make grandfather heal?!"
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "I can't guarantee this, I'm not a genius doctor."
What's more, I have to tell Ayu about this.
The gene repair solution used by Lao Wangtou and Wang Chuangui at the beginning, Mrs. Wang still has some left over.
If she was right, that thing should be able to cure the evil wind disease.
If the evil wind can be cured, then it will be considered to have repaid that great favor back then.
She will also owe Ayu more.
